F-F H.S. Highlights Sept. 3
The Chambersburg boys soccer team stretched its unbeaten streak to 10 games Monday with a quality non-league win on the road.
The Trojans' Nathan Maynard converted a penalty kick with 14 minutes left to give his team a 3-2 victory over Gettysburg, which came in 11-2 and was ranked third in Class 3A in District 3.
It doesn't get any easier for the depleted Trojans (8-2-2), who hosted District 3's top Class 3A team, Lower Dauphin (13-0), on Tuesday night at Trojan Stadium. Chambersburg is currently ranked No. 3 in 4A.
"With the low numbers we have, and the players we have on the field, I'm extremely proud of these guys," Trojan coach Corey Grove said. "Even though we have a lot of kids out, we're still getting results against good teams."
Matt Yingling put the Warriors on the board just 3:35 into the game. Rafael Bonilla scored his first goal of the season to tie it for Chambersburg, then Yingling scored again. But before halftime, the Trojans' Cameron Dale hit the net to tie it up again.
The winning PK came after Rene Quintanilla was taken down in the box.
Grove said, "Rene drew the foul and Nate finished it. He is just so composed over the ball."
